In Response To: Skin-on-Frame: Yost Sea Tour 15 (Prasad Bhatla)

: Hi

: Just finished the al frame and currently working on the seat.

: I bought 5 metre 19 mm ( 3/4 inch) tubes wholesale , and did not want to
: spend additional on tubes for inserts. So I made the inserts from the
: larger tube itself using the slitting technique. Hope to have some images
: in my forthcoming web page soon.

: My Sea Tour 15 is more like 16 or so, as I used the full 5 metre (16.5 ft?)
: tube for the gunwales.I changed the frame spacing proportionately.

: Quick question: When seated the heels rest against the skin. Is that OK.
: Or do we need to extend the seat to support the heels??

: Cheers

: Prasad

Can do it either way if your feet will fit above the floor. The Yost boats tend to be a fairly snug fit, at least for me :)
